This research proposal consists of a "spin-off" project based on volunteer samples of the Oxford-UNIFESP ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine trial. The proposal will involve the 1,000 volunteer samples, and corresponding time points, to primarily establish a repository for the whole academic community of the São Paulo State. This repository will be converted in a Biobank after the project is conclude…
In Brazil, data released by the ONU (United Nations Union) recently highlighted that there are 734,000 people infected with HIV and only in 2014 there were a number of 44,000 new infections. Even with all the government support, the number of infected people is increasing, especially in the younger population. The viral latency is the one of the factors that prevents the elimination of HI…
Epigenetic mechanisms involve a number of changes in chromatin, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications that together with the chromatin remodeling complexes, nuclear architecture and non-coding RNA define the structure of chromatin and its transcriptional activity that culminates in the alteration of gene expression profile of the cell without changes in DNA sequence. It is bel…

This project will be developed jointly with the Biobank of the Federal University of São Paulo - UNIFESP and will have 100 samples of serum, plasma and leukocyte concentrate from of patients who were hospitalized at the Hospital Universitário São Paulo (HUHSP) with COVID-19 moderate or severe during the wave of infection with the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 (and subvariants) and are ava…
The postdoctoral fellow to participate in this thematic project must have intellectual participation and work capacity to develop the central objectives of the project "Virological characterization of Brazilian isolates of SARS-CoV-2 and their capacity for neutralization by serum of previously infected individuals and /or vaccinated". In this project, it is of fundamental importance to mo…
At the end of 2019, cases of pneumonia of unknown origin were identified, which were later attributed to the etiological agent SARS-CoV-2, a respiratory virus belonging to the Betacoronavirus genus, of zoonotic origin. The high number of cases and rapid global spread led the WHO to declare a global pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 in 2020. The spread of the virus in different human populatio…
